gent·le·manˈjentlmən/
noun
1.a chivalrous, courteous, or honorable man.
Let's break that down:
Chivalrous: behaving in an honorable or polite way especially toward women
Courteous: very polite in a way that shows respect
Honorable: having or showing honesty and good moral character
So basically a gentleman, in today's world, would honor the relationship (no matter how small) he has with a woman. He would respect her enough to get to the bottom of things and not just bail on the relationship (again no matter how small). There would be a conversation. There would be balls involved. Big ones. Unless of course said gentleman is ball-less. Which, in most of my most recent cases.. this happened to be true. I'm sure of it.
So, what is a 'good moral character'? Is that carrying on multiple relationships with many women at once? Is that trying to figure out which woman he is carrying on with is going to benefit him the most and thus dropping the others like a bad habit when another is more convenient? I don't know about you, but that direction isn't on my own personal moral compass and I'd be hard pressed to find a respectable moral person to actually have that on theirs.
I guess what I'm getting at here is that... it's not your fault. It's not my fault. It's not you .. it actually is quite literally him. But maybe it's a little bit you and me because aren't we allowing this sort of behavior... right? In a sense? There is smart and then there is intuition. And then there is a smart intuition.
I would say my intuition needs to be trusted a bit more and I need to give it more credit.
More high fives and coffee breaks. Definitely.
